Baylor University State Park. Here at old Independence, Baylor University like Texas freedom had its birth. Baylor was chartered by the Republic of Texas in 1845 and moved to Waco in 1886. This property was donated to the state for park purposes by Baylor University and heirs of the original trustees of the institution which is the oldest university in Texas. |
